Down - HD - Jay Sean Cover - Acappella - Multitrack

I have always loved this song and believe it or not, I started working on this song prior to the group Nota singing it on national television on the show Sing-Off. I couldn't believe what I was seeing/hearing when I heard them. They are wonderful!

This song required 22 audio tracks and 17 video. Some of the audio tracks I did not make a video to like the awkward laugh at the end and other small parts. It is 100% acappella (my voice, my two sons voices, and beat box). It took two weeks to record the audio and 2 days to record the video. Two of the video tracks are my sons providing the upward oohhs. They did a great job at reproducing the sound on Jay Seans song. Of course, my vocals have the autotune effect that Jay Sean is known for in this song. On the beat box bass drum, I added 2 seperate EQ's and compressed the heck out of it to give it the chest punching sound. I actually sing "doo" with a hard accent on the D to provide the sound. Using Sony Vegas Pro as my video editor, it took 8 hours to render into HD. I am not sure what happened at 2:23 as there is a heavy computer glitch. I re-rendered 3 different times (8 hours a piece) and it did the same glitch. After watching it a couple of times, I thought it looked kind of neat so I just went with it.

I would like to dedicate this one to my beautiful wife, Julie. You have always been there for me and I love you very much!

I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

I'm not going to say he's bad, but the autotune is very obvious.

@NowaTunes - and your video is as awesome as the first time I saw it... :D

A couple of years ago, I saw this video and wondered how one could edit multitracks together... Vance Perry here wrote me back and told me what program he used, and from there I started getting interested in video editing... I dropped my current education, and now a couple of years later, I'm studying film and animation, I'm top of the class, and I regained the joy of going to school, and the future looks bright... Thanks Vance, that one comment spawned a possible lifespan of work-joy... :)

@rfvum If you can't sing without Autotune, you can't sing with it... Sincerely, someone who has used it a lot...

[rfvum]
